Jagjit’s Sing(h)ing was the highlight

The soundtrack of Sarfarosh (1999) was one of my favourite Hindi film albums in my teenage years.

Deservedly, Jatin-Lalit were nominated in the Best Music Director category at the 45th Filmfare Awards in 2000.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya – which was five minutes and a couple of seconds long – was the best song in the film.

The ghazal was dedicated to Nida Fazli, who penned it, and Jagjit Singh, who rendered it. Incidentally, the former was born on October 12, 1938, and the latter died on October 10, 2011.
